A classic in every sense of the word, Mavic Open Pro rims laced to Shimano Ultegra 6800 hubs are the ultimate in reliability, serviceability, and performance in all conditions out on the road. The Open Pro rims are constructed of Mavic's proprietary Maxtal aluminum alloy which creates a rim that's both stronger and lighter than 6106 alloy. For added performance advantage, the rim features a welded joint for strength plus a CNC-machined braking surface to enhance stopping power. You can't go wrong with Shimano Ultegra 6800 hubs that feature silky smooth sealed cup and cone bearings. The rear wheel's cassette body is set up for Shimano or SRAM 8/9/10/11-speed systems, so it will serve you well on a variety of drivetrains.

Just mounted these to replace Nevuation/Neugent wheels that failed - front and rear. Holy mother of god, I've never seen such a failure...cracks everywhere on rims and hubs. Buy these instead, they are really strong and smooth...beautiful design and finish too !

I am 6'1" and weigh 215 lbs. The stock rear wheel on my new $3k Carbon fiber road bike flexed during standing climbs so much that it contacted the rear brake pads and slowed me down. I replaced the stock wheels with these and I can now climb hard and the wheel no longer flexes enough to contact the brake pads. Great looking classic 36 spoke design. Shaved 5 minutes of the bike leg my last hilly triathlon!
